| I feel like every season the pickings are getting slimmer and slimmer. I'm sure the romance/comedy crowd is still pleased, it seems like that is 90% of the titles. But even the "serious" anime are becoming more and more generic. Some faceless demon horde or whatnot with some loud and shallow characters dressed in bright colors. And when it is good, serious and creative, it has no funding and gets shit 3D. Like Berserk and Seikaisuru Kado. I pay for crunchy roll and buy seasons I like on amazon. I "support" the anime I like. But I have maybe one show to look forward to this summer, Fate/Apocrypha. Everything else looks generic or comedy-oriented . . .' I should add this last season was better than usual. I also enjoyed Re:creators so far and Attack on Titan season 2, but they weren't mind-blowing. And now next season and possibly the fall has so few things.= to look forward to . . . |

| The pickings are always slim. It's easy to think of a year like 1995 as a great year for anime because Evangelion and Slayers came out that year, but they're also pretty much the *only* things that came out that year worth anything. And the original Ghost in the Shell, but that has its own problems. |

Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |
| I guess that is true. I didn't start watching anime until ten years ago so there was so many things stockpiled that I never saw before. Years of being constantly entertained. I keep trying old stuff in the hopes I missed something, but it has been awhile since one grabbed me. Captain Harlock for example was something I recently decided to try but the pacing is a snail pace at best. The music seems to be the only good thing so far. And now, at best I have one show to look forward to a week. And even then, I got to throw on some rose-colored glasses to ignore the flaws (like Berserk's animation). But now it seems like I won't even have one thing to look forward to every week in the anime department for quite some time. Well, at least a new season of Game of Thrones is coming out soon I guess . . . |
| It's the same thing that applies to classic rock--it's easy to think the 70s and 80s were some mystical golden age of rock music when, in reality, it was just as shitty as it's ever been and all "classic rock" is is the absolute best 1-2 songs from each year cherrypicked from a desolate wasteland of garbage. |

| Anime like that have always been less relevant. Of course, anime with original stories/well written characters is subjective to each person, but anime specifically with serious tones have usually been much smaller compared to other stuff. romagia said: EchoFlame said: lolwutI feel like every season the pickings are getting slimmer and slimmer.

I mean there are plenty of generic "mature" shows that aren't well written or good. But they were always generic, they aren't just starting to become generic. You just gotta sift the Rakugos out of the Joker Games. |

| Blame that now everybody watches the anime for the memes. |
 |
| Whiny boy has special power. Emotionless girl is skilled. Multitude of enemies of some type (alien, demon, ghost, whatever special name they came up with). I feel like that describes at least a 100 anime. |
| Don't get jaded! Harlock is a slow burn, but it delivers. Older shows might not cater to your desires for instant gratification so learn to break away from those desires. Learn to enjoy ANYTHING, it's part of adapting to life and will make you a more patient and fulfilled person. |
 Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur. |
| I also want to watch all of Legends of Galatic Heroes. And Gintama. The issue is with slow burns like Harlock and Legends is, I don't have a ton of free time. This week I do but most weeks Idon't. And I sometimes get the impression they stretched the story out or something to fill in time and sell ads or something. I just hate watching 9 episodes over three hours and being bored for like 6 of the episodes and only having three decent ones. Makes me wish I spent my time elsewhere. If I had more free time, I'd totally watch whatever. I also read books, watch movies (old ones too) and play video games. So when an anime is boring me, it makes me wonder if my time would be better spent on a book or something. I keep hoping to get that same rush I did. If I rate something a 10, (sometimes a 9), I subjectively had an amazing time watching it and wish I could erase my memory and watch it again. Happening less and less. |
EchoFlameJun 25, 2017 1:56 PM
| Hunter x Hunter (2011) was the most recent thing I rated a 10. Watched all the episodes in like a week and half because it was so damn good . . . |
| sighs...... yes OP, anime is dying and you have already watched all good serious stuff within these 176 complete series lol there's no salvation to anime anime is dying so freaking much |
| Are you joking there are plenty of serious Anime coming out next season. Sure some might seem cliche/generic but considering you liked HxH (which I love btw) which is a fairly cliche/generic show in its own right just makes that complaint seem silly. Anyway here is a list of serious shows next season that doesn't involve sequels. Keep in mind that if I added sequels or ongoing shows the list would be plenty bigger. https://myanimelist.net/anime/34662/Fate_Apocrypha?q=fateapo https://myanimelist.net/anime/34933/Kakegurui?q=kakegurui https://myanimelist.net/anime/33018/Katsugeki_Touken_Ranbu?q=katsugeki https://myanimelist.net/anime/34104/Knights___Magic?q=knight%27s https://myanimelist.net/anime/35240/Princess_Principal?q=princess%20prin https://myanimelist.net/anime/34599/Made_in_Abyss?q=made%20in%20ab https://myanimelist.net/anime/34368/Vatican_Kiseki_Chousakan?q=vat https://myanimelist.net/anime/34547/Shoukoku_no_Altair?q=shoukoku Now, none of these may seem interesting to you, but they are all what look like serious shows. |
 |
| You just need to look a bit harder. Just two seasons ago we got two pretty awesome and unique 'serious' anime in ACCA and Onihei but I don't see them on your list. Current season has Uchouten Kazoku, Shingeki no Bahamut and Zero Kara on top of what you listed. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

Zelkiiro said: Romeo no Aoi Sora and Nurse Angel Ririka SOS also came out in 1995. Romeo is somewhat known as one of those anime with a really high mean score and not many members while Nurse Angel is a mahou shoujo that I personally think handled the death farm better than Madoka did.The pickings are always slim. It's easy to think of a year like 1995 as a great year for anime because Evangelion and Slayers came out that year, but they're also pretty much the *only* things that came out that year worth anything. And the original Ghost in the Shell, but that has its own problems. OT: The number of good anime that come out every year hasn't gone down, in fact it's probably gone up, however the number of average and bad anime has also gone up as more small studios pop up meaning that there's more to choose from even if there isn't too much more good anime than before. Just remember that you can look at everything that's already come out easily while new things come out more slowly. You look at an older year and think "wow, that was a great year for anime" without realizing that there were only a couple anime that year that were any good. If you had been watching anime as seasonals at that time you would probably have the same complaints as you do now. |
  |
| Right there that's the attitude right there. character development takes time. Also I don't know what you are talking about with Harlock being slow. It is NOT. Texnolyze is slow. Death Note has needless episodes! Meanwhile shows like Rose of Versailles that are actually good have to rush thier endings. There are also shows like Owari no Seraph which are exactly what you are talking about but DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM? They go too fast, info dump, telling instead of showing the cool stuff and have generally bad writing and are stuck in a 12-26 episode box they should never be stuck in to advertise the source material. Originals are normally better. But even there rushing to the finish and bad pacing is seen in TV format. |

The anime community in a nutshell.  |
| It's always been like that. The solution is dither you diversify and expand your interests by watching other types of shows while you wait for that type of show you really froth over or quit. Or you could go oldschool and watch some of the serious anime you missed from the past 50 years. You've got options. For me that thing I want badly but rarely get is a science fiction series with no mechs. Not to imply that I don't love mecha shows too. I'd also kill for some cyberpunk or a decently written compelling mystery series. |

Also for Made in Abyss just because the characters are Chibi doesn't mean it is bad, and the fact you gave Madoka a 9/10 shows that cute art styles don't mean anything. I don't know much about Made in Abyss myself, but the background art was fantastic and the concept is different from most fantasy shows. Oh another thing. You say you don't like slow things, but then rate tons of slow shows high. Fate Zero, Spice and Wolf just for a couple examples. I honestly think you just need to be less picky and give shows a chance. Kind of like how you did when you first started watching Anime. And all this is coming from me the guy who drops everything.

| There are exceptions to rules, obviously. I give a ton of shows one or two episodes to impress me. I just don't bother putting it on MAL that I dropped it. Gon was trying to be like his father who abandoned him and find him. The fact he was a kid wasn't important in a world with supernatural powers. And Madoka was dark and exciting. Don't pretend like those little kid animes aren't 90% mindless cutesy stuff and friendship and love and their damn cutesy bentos and they like sweets and all their problems are vapid. Can't understand how anyone stomachs that crap. Also, I hate mech anime and Code Geass is my favorite anime of all time. Rewatched it like Five times. The focus wasn't the mechs. Lelouch was almost always in a random one he snatched each week. The point was strategy. His enemy had the super special awesome mechs those mech centered shows like to harp on and he'd use strategy to take them down. And there was powers, manipulation and a wide variety of characters with competiting but totally valid idealogies. No generic good or bad but shades of grey for all of the main characters. Complete gem. |

" uhuh, im sorry, but do you somehow know the animator or director for made in abyss or princess principal? no, so what gurantee do you have that they wont also be dark and exciting, or wont have a reason like hxh and be a world with supernatural power "little kid animes" those little kid animes, aka cute girl sol you are talking about all for adults, marketed for seinen so i dont get how you can get that assumption ye because all mecha only have 1 generic good and bad guy, all mecha anime are about the mecha "The focus wasn't the mechs." season 1 maybe, season 2 where it was all about who had the better mecha, dont fucking lie, "Lelouch was almost always in a random one he snatched each week. The point was strategy. His enemy had the super special awesome mechs those mech centered shows like to harp on and he'd use strategy to take them down." again you are just lying or or rewatching stuff still somehow bilnded you to this stuff, ep 10 or 11? in the china arc he even bought out a high spec mech only he could pilot, and use it to save the china dude, such strategy, the final war b4 he dropped the nuke, almost 0 strategy during the fight, even his final fight had about as much strategy as any other mecha, also if you think mecha animes lack strategy and is just generic black vs white with super awesome mecha, im sorry but you need get your close mindness check, cause guess fucking what, most gundams(with a few exceptions) arent fucking about the mecha, neither is eureka seven, @Darek @Clebardman is this what you mecha peeps go through? hearing ignorant people say shit like this? |

| Good, serious anime were just never that abundant in the first place. Although more anime has been airing than ever before, generally there isn't more than 1 or 2 great shows per season. This is true for this year as well, the only difference being there hasn't been any shows that have made any big ripples in the community (last year there was Erased and Re:Zero, year before OPM and UBW S2, to name a few). It could just be that 2017 is a crappy year but it's only half way over so it's hard to say. To say that good anime is ending just because of this half-year drought is a bit melodramatic though. |

Not sure why any storyteller would use children but if the story is halfway decent, whatever. But to actually prefer shows with children? Odd. |

| Front page of MAL is Hini Logi. Description. Liones Yelistratova, a pure princess from a small country, enters a school in Hokkaido on a spring day. The school is a specialized educational institution operated by ALCA to train Logicalists, who maintain world peace. Liones enters class S, where she meets many classmates with unique personalities, like Nina. A lively and cute everyday life begins now. Like come on? Pure princess? Little girl preserve world peace? Cute everyday life? Formulaic as all heck. And people eat this stuff up. |
| Another suggested to me. After dying a laughable and pathetic death on his way back from buying a game, high school student and recluse Kazuma Satou finds himself sitting before a beautiful but obnoxious goddess named Aqua. She provides the NEET with two options: continue on to heaven or reincarnate in every gamer's dream—a real fantasy world! Choosing to start a new life, Kazuma is quickly tasked with defeating a Demon King who is terrorizing villages. But before he goes, he can choose one item of any kind to aid him in his quest, and the future hero selects Aqua. But Kazuma has made a grave mistake—Aqua is completely useless! Pathetic boy. Check. Obnoxious girl. Check. Something special happens for no reason. Check. Demon King? Check. Like come on guys, don't pretend this observation isn't right on the money. Generic. |

| @Scarlett_ryuken yep, it's pretty common here EchoFlame said: I wanted to gouge my eyes out after watching eureka seven. I can never get those hours back. I do plan to give a few of the Gundams a chance someday. Hopefully they're infinitely better than eureka seven. And you're naming exceptions when most little girl anime is dumb. Not sure why any storyteller would use children but if the story is halfway decent, whatever. But to actually prefer shows with children? Odd. Eureka Seven would be an awful anime with or without mecha. It's the most boring, repetitive, dragged-out romance anime ever, it keeps throwing its plot to the garbage bin (Seven WTF effect? Forgotten in 2 eps. The pilot girl? Nope, girls have to take care of children. The weird key? Who cares? The fact the robots aren't robots? 5 mins. "War is bad and I don't wanna kill"? 1 episode, and back to mindlessly murdering hordes of clay targets). the fights are lazy af and boring to look at. The plot armor is ridiculous and completely destroys any tension there would be if you cared about the cast. It's shiny, that's all there is to it. |

| Hopefully the Gundams are better. Is there like an evil Gundam that rivals the Gundam or is the Gundam just OP and automatically wins all fights? |
